Blanco Núñez, Igor D. (Fecha de defensa: 2015-01-31)
The study of the brain using diffuse optical methods has progressed rapidly in the recent years. The possibility of studying the cerebral microvasculature in addition to the portability and low cost of these devices, opens ...
Bordacchini, Ivan (Fecha de defensa: 2020-10-30)
Since the pioneering work of Fujishima and Honda on titanium dioxide, TiO2, for the electrochemical photolysis of water under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, semiconductor-based photocatalysis and photovoltaics have become ...
Liu, Quan (Fecha de defensa: 2018-03-23)
Solution-processed thin film solar cells emerged as very promising photovoltaic technologies suitable for a low cost roll-to-roll upscale production. Such thin film character also ensures lightweight and flexibility for ...
Gieseler, Jan (Fecha de defensa: 2014-02-03)
Nanotechnology was named one of the key enabling technologies by the European Commission and its tremendous impact was envisioned early by 20th century physicist R.Feynman in his now oft-quoted talk "Plenty of Room at the ...
Guenther, Nils Eric (Fecha de defensa: 2021-09-08)
At sufficiently low temperatures, fluids of bosonic particles may undergo a phase transition, below which a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) forms. The BEC is one of the most fundamental concepts in many-body quantum physics ...
Ebling, Ulrich (Fecha de defensa: 2014-11-03)
Ultracold atomic gases have established themselves as quantum systems, which are clean and offer a high degree of control over crucial parameters. They are well isolated from their environment and thus offer the possibility ...
Wang, Yongjie (Fecha de defensa: 2023-02-23)
(English) Climate change and global energy demand urge the development of renewable energy sources for worldwide power supply. Photovoltaic devices that convert solar energy directly into electricity are the most promising, ...
Wolter, Benjamin (Fecha de defensa: 2018-02-26)
One of the grand challenges of modern science is to image chemical reactions and biological functions while they are taking place. To realize these molecular movie, experimental techniques need to resolve the relevant ...
Sridhar, Susmita (Fecha de defensa: 2016-10-05)
Polarization gating imaging is a popular and widely used imaging technique in biomedical optics to sense tissues, deeper volumes, and also selectively probe sub-superficial volumes. Due to the "polarization memory" effect ...
Piga, Angelo (Fecha de defensa: 2020-03-30)
During the past two decades, thanks to the mutual fertilization of the research in quantum information and condensed matter, new approaches based on purely quantum features without any classical analog turned out to be ...
Prettico, Giuseppe (Fecha de defensa: 2013-01-18)
Quantum Information Theory (QIT) studies how information can be processed and transmitted when encoded on quantum states. Practically, it can be understood as the effort to generalize Classical Information Theory to the ...
Beduini, Federica A. (Fecha de defensa: 2015-11-3)
This thesis analyses the effects of two-photon interference in a polarisation squeezed state under two different points of view: on one hand, it presents a new method to obtain the temporal wavefunction of a state of two ...
Vallés Marí, Adam (Fecha de defensa: 2017-02-14)
The work presented in this thesis, mostly experimental, is based on three main pillars: the concepts of entanglement, Bell's inequalities and coherence. Entanglement is a very special type of correlation that can exist ...
Akgul, M. Zafer (Fecha de defensa: 2021-02-11)
Due to the continuously increasing energy demand and the environmental concerns about climate changes raised by international community, alternative energy resources have been put under intense investigation for the past ...
Liga, Shanti Maria (Fecha de defensa: 2023-03-22)
(English) The availability of energy is a fundamental ingredient for the development of society. However, the intense consumption of fossil fuels as an energy resource since the second industrial revolution has caused a ...
Raventós Ribera, David (Fecha de defensa: 2019-04-15)
Understand and tame complex quantum mechanical systems to build quantum technologies is one of the most important scientific endeavour nowadays. In this effort, Atomic, molecular and Optical systems have clearly played a ...
Alloing, Mathieu (Fecha de defensa: 2014-05-28)
In this thesis, we report experimental evidence of a "gray" condensate of excitons, as predicted theoretically by M. Combescot et al. Most importantly, the condensate is characterized by the macroscopic population of dark ...
Huwer, Jan Henning (Fecha de defensa: 2014-01-29)
One promising approach for future quantum networks is the combination of strings of trapped ions as quantum-information processors with entangled photon pairs produced by spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) to ...
Woessner, Achim (Fecha de defensa: 2017-05-11)
Plasmons are charge oscillations coupled to electromagnetic radiation. One of their most intriguing properties is their deep subwavelength confinement resulting in strongly enhanced light-matter interaction. Metal plasmons ...
Barcons Ruiz, David (Fecha de defensa: 2023-07-11)
(English) Graphene has revolutionized the field of condensed matter physics over the last two decades, emerging as an outstanding research platform. This is because graphene electrons behave as massless Dirac fermions, ...
